Call.

I was reading through the book of Romans last week and I read something that I have probably read a hundred times before but this time when I read it I saw it as a call to worship.
Romans 11:33-36; Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, [...]

Oh You Bring – Hillsong United

One of my favs from the new Hillsong United CD, Across the Earth – Tear down the Walls. Sorry nothing to watch here, but the song is great. It’s just a song of worship that expresses the power of God in our lives and our simple response to our very beautiful, [...]

worship + justice

thank.You

Cliff has been inadvertently teaching me about thankfulness. Everyday his thankfulness abounds. Whatever we are talking about always comes with an attitude of gratefulness. It’s amazing.
Oh, I’m a thankful person. I’m full of gratitude, except there’s always a stipulation. “This is great, but….”, or “Wow, that’s wonderful, but just…”, you know? It’s just not quite [...]

my dreams

I was out with some girlfriends last night and I just happened to mention how as a girl I never really dreamt of the whole wedding thing. I never thought about getting married until it happened. I never really thought about having kids until it happened.
I can honestly tell you today that I am [...]

Some good news…

Come and listen, all you who fear God. Let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. [...]

7 days to live…

“What would you do differently if you only had 7 days left to live?” That was the question that I was asked earlier this week. I had no idea how to answer it and all week long I pondered it.
Gosh, 7 days left to live – I knew my answer should have been extravagant, elaborate [...]

worship in the pain

It was good for me to be afflicted, so that I could learn Your statutes. [Psalm 119:71]
You’ve gotta read Psalm 119. If you ever think you’ve got it bad, take a journey through Psalms, or through any other book of the Bible, and if that’s not enough, take the time to listen to someone else’s [...]

[Dwell]

I woke up to this song playing on Cliff’s ipod a few weeks ago and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head. I haven’t stopped singing it.
It was around 3am and it was actually the song that woke me, rather than me actually *wanting* to get up [...]

Flee temptation…run to God

I was reading Psalm 32 this morning and I discovered another reason why I love God’s presence so much. I know that being near God, with Him, dwelling on Him – with Him, worshiping Him is the opposite of sin. When we spend time chasing God, we find ourselves running in the opposite direction of [...]
